The title is fairly self-explanatory. Which characters have the most hax abilities in movies/tv?
Just to clarify though. The characters don't all necessarily have to be god-tiers or anything. Characters with abilities that can be considered hax for their own overall tier can be included as well.
For example, Karnak, from Inhumans, obviously isn't going to be fighting Thor or Hulk, but his pseudo-clairvoyance/future prediction power makes him extremely OP compared to other street-level/low-metahuman types. Not only does his power allow him to replay a fight until he figures out the winning strategy, it also gives him the speed and precision to do things like karate chop bullets in half, or (somehow) kick an energy blast back at someone (don't ask me how the f*** that works).
So, which characters do you guys consider hax?

Quicksilver (X MEN) i would say. He isn't considered that powerful, but that Sweet Dreams scene was HAX along with the scene in where he beats Apocalypse!
Scarlet Witch: Not regarded as a powerful Avenger yet she manage to stay on top and give a hell of a fight in CW.
Dr. Strange: Strange is ALREADY A VERY POWERFUL CHARACTER, yet his possession over the Eye of Agamotto makes his powers HAX!
All kinds of combat clairvoyance can be considered hax imo. Like Nic Cage's char from Next, the villain from Machete 2

When someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles to frown but only 4 to reach out and bchslap them upside down on their head
- Fox QS: mach 200k speed = able to KO and launch people and objects with finger prods, rip down massive curtains and wrap people in them like burritos, throw people massive distances, move bullets like magnets on a fridge, etc.
- Future Sentinels: Power Mimicry = walking hax with the capability to add more hax powers.
- Zohan: physics-defying combat and strength feats combined with nigh-invulnerability to any sort of pain and trauma.
- Chris Reeve Supes: on-demand powers that enable him to rebuild portions of the Great Wall from thin air, produce and throw the S-shield from his suit as a giant plastic wrap bag, able to turn tornadoes upside down, create clones of himself to fight, and turn back time through flying against Earth's rotation.
- The Mask: a morphing Swiss-Army knife that can do stuff from transforming himself into a dancer/singer that can mass influence swaths of law enforcement into participating in a song-and-dance number to eating dynamite bombs.
Showa era Godzilla is not quite on some of these guys level but he has pulled powers out of his ass on top of his already formidable physicals make him fairly hax.
Another unconventional character that is actually rather hax in his own way is Angus MacGyver. His improvisational skills basically allow him to take a giant crap on science to do some things. Current MacGyver recently made what basically amounted to a lightsaber out of a torch and a dvd writer. And his knife is seemingly indestructible. It's been used for things that should have bent/broken it several times over, yet never gets a scratch on it.

Gonna bump my own thread after the last episode of Legion. At this point, both David and Amahl have displayed a lot of hax abilities.
Take this showing of the Shadow King, for example:
And just to clarify, the seemingly two people attacking is actually one, and he does not look like either of them (you do see him briefly at around 2:05 though).
And David can do similar, from teleportation, to telepathy, to matter manipulation, to telekinesis etc.

And here is an example of David. Sadly, it's only the second part of the scene (he teleports around, telepathically freezes people in place, similar to how Xavier does, draws a pair of psychic infections out of people's minds and destroys them, and even turns a gun into a mop during the first bit), but it gives you some idea of the weird crap he can do as well:

Peter Petrelli from Heroes at full power. Sylar as well.
Both are insanely powerful and can copy other super powers. Peter does so just by being in close proximity. At the height of his power Peter had:
-Regeneration and immortality
-Can stop time and time travel
-Can teleport
-Can create nuclear blasts, the most powerful of which is equivalent to an actual nuke
-Super Strength
-Telekinesis
-Mind Reading and mind control
-Can generate powerful blasts of lightning
-Can fly
-Can go invisible
-Had super speed
Of course when he had all those powers at one time he was crippled by horrible PIS.

Superman's combination of superspeed, super strength and super durability deserve to be in here.
Also, Batman's prep time is the most hax power in the comic world. He can literally out-think, out-plan or out-invent anything and anyone as long as the plot demands it.
If you wanna talk about Smallville we have Brainiac. He has all of Clarks Kryptonian powers, but no kryptonite weakness. He also is like some liquid metal thing so he can turn his hand into a spike or something, and infect technology and take over.
And he can split into 4 people, all equal in power. So essentially 4 Smallville Clarks without the kryptonite weakness. And he was clocked with tech moving at near lightspeeds.

I guess both Batfleck and Baleman wouldn't qualify, as their prep-magic was seriously toned down... part of the reason why I think those TDK movies were so successful.
As far as movie/TV incarnations go, you're right: West Batman is the biggest culprit probably followed by DCAU Batman.
Also going to throw CW The Thinker on here. Guy is basically the Swiss Army Knife of Supervillains at this point:
- Hyper-intelligence, which makes him borderline clairvoyant.
- Telepathy, including mind-reading, causing mental damage, like aneurysms, and mind-control.
- Probability/Luck manipulation.
- Effigy manipulation.
- Sound projection.
- Gravity manipulation, which he can basically use like conventional telekinesis.
- Pocket dimension generation, which allows him to teleport.
- Size/mass alteration of other objects.
- Technopathy, which allows him to control machines, computer systems etc.
- Superhuman strength, durability and elasticity.
- DNA manipulation to remove/transfer/take other meta powers.
And while not official, he has very fast reaction times. Whether it's a combination of his other abilities that causes it, but he has been able to react to Barry at superspeed in multiple instances, as well as bullets and other fast moving projectiles, even when they are coming from behind.
